The Excessive Heat Warming for most of southern is now in effect through Thursday night at 11:00 p.m.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said dangerously hot temperatures are expected this weekend into early next week and may persist with very little improvement into late next week. The hottest temperatures in west side valleys are expected to range from 105 to 115 on Sunday. Overnight lows could be as warm as 75 degrees.

Forecasters said extreme heat will significantly increase the potential for heat related illnesses, particularly for those working and participating in outdoor activities. High daytime temperatures combined with warm overnight lows will result in high heat risk and heat related stress. Some daily high temperature records will be broken. High temperature records for June are likely to be set and there is the potential to set all-time highs for any date.
